The only thing I wish that BMW added as options to the X3 is Blind Spot Detection, Lane Departure Warning, and Ventilated Seats... but I guess you can't have everything.

I ordered Monday April 18th, it was in production the next day. The phone center says estimated completion date is April 27th. Not bad.

Post Delivery:

So the car was delivered in less than 2 weeks... very fast! So far I love the car, it rides very nice and the transmission is simply amazing. So far my only concerns are the following:

- The doors are difficult to close (to the satisfaction of the sensors at least)
- The gas mileage doesn't seem to be as good as claimed by BMW - but maybe this is part of the break in period
- The windows seem slow to go up and down
- The inner projector headlamp is fake... there is no light in it.
- The navigation bug is for real... if you get to your destination and don't turn off the car or start a new destination the car won't stop pointing you to your destination

What I love about the car:

- The transmission is fabulous
- The auto-hold feature is really convenient
- The top view feature is far more useful then I would of thought

Congrats on a great combo! I ordered mine the same day too but it hasn't gone into production yet Supposed to have it by the 3rd week in May.

I wonder how this happens! Unfortunately I go out of town on the 29th until May 5th so I won't be able to pick up the car until May 6th. Then I leave May 8th again until the 12th! Going to have no time with my new car!

I Ordered my Sapphire Black X3 28i on 4/16/2011 Moved to production on 4/21 and completed production on 4/29. Currently 1-800 number says "Your vehicle was released to a carrier and awaiting transportation to the port of exit". The BMW USA website still shows as production started.

Hopefully I will get to drive my own BMW(first one) by next weekend.

Just received a call from the CA saying that my Car as arrived and he is setting up an appointment for delivery tomorrow.

I went by the dealer to see the car on the way out. I tried to upload pictures but it keeps on timing out (probably b/c I am tethering). Really happy with the car and I can't wait to pick it up Friday.
